About This Book

The narrative follows young Robert Lennox, the Onondaga warrior Tayoga, and hunter David Willet as they navigate the harsh North Woods during the French and Indian War era. Pursued by enemy scouts and confronting cold, storms, and exposed ridges, the trio must rely on tracking, hunting, and woodcraft while encountering French officers, spies, and Native allies and foes. Episodic adventures mix tense skirmishes, daring escapes, scouting voyages, and tests of endurance, with repeated scenes of survival, loyalty, and skilled tracking that shape the characters and culminate in confrontations with prominent adversaries.
